A/N: This is an Avatar: The Last Airbender story. I just had a great idea I needed to get down. This is Katara's POV. Hope you like it!

Prologue

I was still sleeping. I knew I should have woken up to make breakfast for my brother Sokka and Aang (my new friend and the last air bender whom I just met the day before), but I was just too lazy. I was tired and my bones hurt because I decided water bend all day the day before. I just laid there like a big fat slug. As I stared at the ceiling of our Igloo, I heard a loud bang and several screams from outside. I jumped out of my bed and ran out of the door to see what was going on.

There was Fire Navy ships surrounding our village and soldiers attacking our people.

I couldn't do anything. I knew that if I tried to water bend they would know that I was the last water bender in the South Pole. I didn't want to be taken away from my home, so I just stood there watched the Fire Nation hurt my village.

I saw Sokka and Aang run towards the ships. They were locked in a fierce battle with the Fire Nation soldiers who seemed to have an endless supply of energy. I ran to them, wanting to tell them to leave and escape.

"Sokka!" I yelled. He whipped his head and looked at me. "You and Aang have to get out of here!"

"Katara, you have to get out of here! I'm fine! Just leave!" I looked at Sokka like it might be the last time we ever get to see each other. I ran over to Aang and started to pull him with me.

"Katara, what are you doing?" he yelled.

"We have to get out of here. C'mon!" I grabbed Aang's wrist and then a piercing battle cry came from behind us. We started to run from the soldier but then I felt two hands grab my ankles. The soldier brought me down and started to go after Aang. I tried to get up but two other soldiers tied me up with chains and threw me into a net. I watched Aang and knew he was going to try to save me. He was badly outnumbered.

"Run Aang!" I yelled at him. "Leave! Find Sokka and go!"

The two soldiers picked me up and started to carry me towards the massive Fire Nation ship. I spotted Sokka, who was still fighting. I took one last look at him and prayed that he would be safe. He saw the soldiers taking me to the ship and started to scream, "KATARA!" I couldn't bear to look at him so I closed my eyes.

I heard Aang's voice fill my ears as he said, "We have to get out of here Sokka!"

"THAT'S MY SISTER! LET HER GO!" I heard the pain in his voice and couldn't bear it. I was leaving my brother: my grandmother: my father: and my friend. All of this pain was caused against my will. There was nothing I could do. I was tied up and was being taken to somewhere mysterious.

"C'mon Sokka!" Aang yelled.

I opened my eyes and all I saw was metal illuminated by shades of red. A dignified looking man came towards me and stared at me.

"This is her. Nice work gentlemen." He turned away from me then said, "See to it that she doesn't know where we are going. You can't trust water benders. They are the opposite of the most powerful element of the world."

My heart started to quicken and then my word went black.

A/N: Okay, so I changed a few things from the original but it is so much better. I hope you like the revised version because I know I do.
